#If this is disrespectful I will delete it but I think water panthers are cool and I want people to know about them

Happy Dracones Monday! Water Panther

The Water Panther is from the Great Lakes of North America - I am not going to call this Mishipeshu, as that is a specific spirit and not an animal - I want to respectully mention Native American folklore in my project (as I don't want North America to only have dragons invented by westerners) but I don't want to equate spirits and important figures to 'cryptids' - I will either find a respectful way to include water panthers in the project or I will remove them - for now I'm just posting this picture on my blog. I based the face on a lynx, and gave him a copper coloured tail.

Here are links to Native-Languages.org website on the Water Panther and the 'True Tiger', for people wanting to learn more. Native Languages is a great resource for learning about folklore, languages and traditions in North America!
